KEEP OUT THE WITCHES.
A Lesson Which Every Dalryman Must
Learn, and Heed.

Learn, and Heed.
You can not be too careful about tho
kind of water your COW drink and the
kind of atmosphere You do your milk
ing in, if you want to keep the witches
out of the checSc-vat or the churn.
Stagnant wafer from any source is in
furious to the health of cows, and to the
whOlesomencSS of their milk. This has
been demonstrated over and over again,
and the warning to dairymcn has been
iteratcd and reiterated through the
agricultural press and dairy convcn-
tons for years. Still it is apparent to
any one who rides through the country
with his eyes open, that the lesson is
not learned. or at least is not needed.
Cows continue to drink stagnant and
impure water, and the quality Of both
butter and cheese is lowered in conse-
quencc. So milking is still done in
filthy quarters, and the odor and flavor
of the barn-yard continues to offend
the n%oStrils and p%alatcs Of milk-con.
sumers, and to %injurc the flavor and
market value of dairy products. Why
will not all dairymcn heed the admon.
itions of experience and the dictates OF
common sense, by giving their COWS
plenty of pure water to drink, and pure
air to breathe. and by doing their milk,
ing in clean places. free from bad odors
and the innumcrable microscopic germ;
of ferment and decay, which are as in.
sidious and sure as death, and as silcn'
and invisible? These are the witche.
that at times play unthought-of prank'
in the dairy room, to the great per
plexity and dismay of the dairymaid.-

Why Butter Should Be Sailed,

There is a reason why butter should
be sailed. Indeed. there arc several
good and sensible reasons for this uni.
versal practice. First, it Is the preserv-
alive of the butter as much as it is of
cheese, and prevents that rapid decom-
position which would make butter n
most undesirable article of food.
Second, salt is agreeable to most tastes
and is USED in every article of food pre-
pared for the table that is not seasoned
with sugar. In fact, the reasons for
using salt are identical with those for
the use of sugar; for both flavor the
food. agreeably and furnish some re-
quired nutriment for the human system.
And third, the nutriment afforded by
salt supplies a most important and in
d~ispensable function OF the system with
the means for its continuance.-M. Y.

President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
Company, presided. The Passenger
Agents Committee report was adopted
with slight amendments. The report OF
the Freight AR snts' Committee was CD
proved. IL was decided that second
class tickets TO points west az far as

other routes second class tickets will be
abolished. IL was felt that there were
many pesple who lived in she cities on
the east coast who could not afford TO
pay first class rates and we're willing 10
accept inferior accommodations in COZ
sIderation Of the reduced fare, aud that
u would be an injustice we're the cheap
rates abolished. Immigrant rates will
remain the same as at present for tick
cts sold in Europe, bat no distinction
will be mads on tickets sold on this side.
The cheap fares only apply TO west
bound tickets. The committee recon-
mendations IN regard TO excursion tick
etc, already published, were approved.
Agents commissions will be abolished.
